We are a local organization. AVN was founded by and employs only native Cambodians. Our office is right in the heart of Phnom Penh making it easy for us to stay in close contact with our volunteers and ensure they are having an amazing experience.

Low volunteering fee. Cambodia is a beautiful country with many issues that require the skills of international volunteers to help solve. Instead of charging large volunteering fees, we require only the bare minimum the cover our volunteers' accommodation and meal expenses. We value impact more so than profit.

Special activities. Staying in our volunteer guesthouse, you will be surrounded by other volunteers. Make new friends from all over the world and discover community together. Regularly, we organize activities for our volunteers during the weekend or on national holidays. Feel free to join us!

VOLUNTEER TESTIMONIALS

Alex, American

Sex: Male

Age: 23

Placement: Microfinance

AVN helped me have an amazing experience while I was in Cambodia. Brem and the rest of the staff are incredibly helpful and were there to support me 100%. AVN does considerable research into their partner organizations to make sure both the volunteers and their respective organizations get the most out of the experience. Although AVN is quite new, I would recommend anyone looking for a good volunteer program that is a fraction of the cost of their competitors to check them out. Feel free to request my email through AVN for more insight.
